There was a loud "bang" and the heavy door of the Ministry of Revenue was kicked open by Wan Qingyan, and the door hinges creaked.
Wan Qingyan strode into the room with his head held high, his eyes as sharp as torches, shooting straight at the group of Ministry of Revenue officials who were sitting together!
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a cold sneer, and her eyes revealed deep disdain and contempt without any concealment.
At this moment, the room suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at the uninvited guest at the door in astonishment.
Especially the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When she saw that the person coming was Wan Qingyan, her heart skipped a beat, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body went cold.
She understood the Fifth Prince's temperament and knew that he was definitely not a good person. Once provoked, he would definitely not let it go!
Even though the Ministry of Revenue's Deputy Minister was already panicking inside, she still forced herself to remain calm. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her facial expression. Then she quickly stood up and led the other officials in respectfully bowing to Wan Qingyan, saying, "Your Highness, I respectfully wish His Highness the best!"
Wan Qingyan stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes as sharp as a knife as she scanned the faces of everyone present. She snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to beat around the bush with you anymore. I already know everything about yesterday.
Most of you were instigated and bewitched by this Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and committed such a heinous crime!
But I'm willing to give you a chance. As long as you take the initiative to come forward and confess your crimes now, I can give you a lighter sentence, and you can keep your lives!"
After saying that, Wan Qingyan turned around abruptly, strode to the chair, flicked her skirt in a dashing manner, and sat down steadily. She crossed her legs and raised them up. Her posture seemed leisurely, but in fact it was very majestic.
Immediately afterwards, Wan Qingyan directed her inquiring gaze straight towards the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue, as if she wanted to see through her eyes to the secrets deep in her heart.
Faced with Wan Qingyan's aggressive gaze, the Ministry of Revenue Yuanwailang was shocked, but she tried to remain calm and pretended to be indifferent as she looked at him.
However, in just a moment, she seemed to realize that she could not bear this kind of pressure at all, so after a quick glance at Wan Qingyan, she quickly lowered her head and no longer looked directly at him. Her eyes became dim at this moment, revealing deep fear and anxiety!
Seeing this, other officials followed the example of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. They all lowered their heads and dared not breathe, for fear of attracting Wan Qingyan's attention.
The whole house fell into dead silence, with only the occasional faint sound of breathing proving that there were still living people here. They responded to Wan Qingyan with silence.
Wan Qingyan glanced coldly at the officials present. She saw that they all had their heads lowered, as if they wanted to bury themselves deep in the ground. No one dared to look at her.
Seeing this, Wan Qingyan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold and mocking smile. Then, she slowly raised her hands and clapped rhythmically.
The applause was loud and clear, echoing endlessly in the silent room, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the officials.
"Look at how united you all are, but even if we give you a chance, you're useless!
Let me tell you clearly, I saw everything you did in the house yesterday from the roof!
Besides, are you really so naive as to think you can burn all the account books? Before I left yesterday, I took a few key account books with me and showed them to the Empress.
In fact, I know very well that many of you were instigated and deceived by that Ministry of Revenue Assistant Minister and were forced to participate in this. Moreover, she was the one who strangled the Ministry of Revenue Assistant Minister with her own hands, and she was also the one who ordered you to burn the account books... "
Wan Qingyan used his ultimate move and told everything he had witnessed yesterday while lying on the roof.
She did this with only one purpose, which was to completely break down the psychological defenses of these cunning and treacherous people in front of her.
Not only that, she also deliberately and cleverly directed all the blame to the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so that others would mistakenly believe that the crimes they committed were minor, and thus feel lucky and think that there was still a glimmer of hope to escape!
Wan Qingyan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the room. When the officials heard it, they all looked horrified and took a deep breath.
Especially the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was struck by lightning, his body shaking violently and uncontrollably, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time!
She secretly groaned in her heart, knowing that she was in great trouble. All the evil deeds she had committed were exposed!
What's worse is that the crucial account book has not been completely burned, and the remaining evidence is enough to convict her completely. It can be said that her clever plan has cost her life and ended up with nothing!
The other officials saw the fear-stricken and trembling look of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and their minds began to become active. They had been in cahoots with her before, but now that they saw the situation was not good, they chose to change with the wind without hesitation.
When the wind is favorable, they can follow her to do evil, but once the situation turns against them and they are in trouble, they can only abandon her.
So, everyone moved their feet and intentionally kept a distance from the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, for fear of being implicated!
At this moment, an official broke the silence, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, I wish to report this in my real name. All these incidents were instigated by her. Even the murder of the Minister of Revenue was her sole responsibility.
We were really coerced by them and had no choice but to do it!
At most, we have kept our knowledge to ourselves and have absolutely no desire to be complicit with her. I hope Your Highness can see clearly and clear our names!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like opening Pandora's box. The other officials also echoed them, rushing to kowtow to Wan Qingyan and apologize, confessing all the crimes of the Ministry of Revenue's Deputy Minister.
For a moment, the room was filled with cries of begging for mercy and accusations, and it was very lively. The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue became the target of public criticism, kneeling alone on the spot, his face as pale as death!
"Don't you have anything to say? Even though your crime is unforgivable, I can still give you a chance to live, as long as you have enough bargaining chips in exchange!
You are a smart person, you understand what I mean, I am looking forward to your choice, don't let me down, hahahahaha!"
